* TheAllegedExpert: Leela knows absolutely nothing about Victorian society except that [[RunningGag police wear blue]]. She's ''still'' the closest thing Gallifrey has to an expert, since she's been there. Once. Briefly.

Jago and Litefoot are joined by Leela, who's on a mission from Gallifrey (using a [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks time ring]]). Being pretty much Gallifrey's resident Victorian London expert, she's been sent by Lady President Romana with a time compass, hoping to find out where the recent cracks in time have come from. The compass soon points them towards a local BadGuyBar for sailors, where (with a bit of coaching from Ellie) Leela infiltrates as a barmaid. (The regular barmaid meets with a bit of a non-permanent accident.) They find a young sailor named Johnny, who's got a deep fear of some sea zombies named the "Wetmen", as well as a cell phone with a direct link to a Professor Payne.
Johnny turns out to be a long way from home -- about half a century, in fact. He was sent back in time from a storm that would have killed him. The rest of his crew, the Wetman, need him back, because the rip in time is causing their undeath. Johnny walks into the ocean willingly and restores the rip, but Leela's compass tells her there's much more involved than just one lost sailor.
!!Tropes:
* AtTheOperaTonight: Jago and Litefoot take Leela to the opera. Then explain afterwards that these things don't ''usually'' involve audience participation.
* BadGuyBar: Much of the plot takes place in one.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Leela is very much a FishOutOfTemporalWater in Victorian England, and has to be taught pretty much everything by Jago and Litefoot. Her idea of infiltrating the BadGuyBar is to join in the fights, claim victory over all the men, and command the patrons to help her in her quest. Jago and Litefoot manage to talk her out of it.
* GorgeousPeriodDress: Leela (again) gets some from Litefoot's wardrobe. It's ''much'' too fancy for the Red Tavern.
* HeroicSuicide: Johnny commits suicide by walking into the ocean.
* RunningGag: Leela's been taking barmaid classes from Ellie, and keeps telling people to behave, or she'll feed their guts to the dogs.
* TalkLikeAPirate: Jago and Litefoot -- especially Jago -- indulge in it for a bit. Jago even brings a peg leg. It doesn't take long for them to slip up, and Litefoot is exposed as a toff within minutes.
